Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Peel and slice pears,
- Caramelize the pears in butter and 3 tbsps sugar. Cook until a nice golden brown and set aside to cool.
- Arrange the cooled, caramelized pears nicely in the unbaked pie crust.
- Blend together the eggs, remaining sugar, minced candied ginger, cream, ground almonds and pear brandy or nectar.
- Pour the custard mixture over the pears and place in a preheated oven and bake for 25 - 30 minutes. (or until done)
- Let rest for 10 minutes before serving -- this is equally as good cold as it is warm.
- When ready garnish with a large dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle remaining shredded candied ginger overtop.
- Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
